9.04 is no longer supported; I suggest you do a fresh installation of 10.04 or newer.

That's why it's a good idea to always have good backups before either upgrading or doing a fresh install.

Since neither 8.10 nor 9.04 is receiving security updates (or any other updates), the OP will have to weigh the risks of continuing to use an old version of Ubuntu versus the necessity of running a particular version of software (ns-2.34 with gcc-4.3).
